Ideas for investment today (Feb 2009) if you have $50k in cash?

Raza asked:


What are some ideas for investing if one has around $50K in cash today. Moderate risk tolerance – don’t want to loose it all. Time horizon of 3-5 years.

Rental income properties?
Tax liens?
Buying a franchise?
Local mom & pop business?
Stocks? Bonds?

Further clarification: I was hoping for ideas that don’t have anything to do with banks, brokerages houses etc.. Maybe more of business or trade or hands-on value addition and not necessarily hands-off investment.

    Conservatively speaking, 3-5 years.isn’t long enough to invest, sorry
    Maybe, a CD
    50,000 at 3.9% compounded quarterly for 5 yrs would earn you $10,708.18

    Although its an excellent time to jump in the markets now, I would only recommend getting in the stock market if you have a long term horizon – 10 years or more
